[solved] I may have bricked it :-( empty folders instead of console

[frederic raducki]

Hi guys

the last thing i remember doing is trying to install the CONSOLE
then unfortunately something went wrong (did i unplugged power when i shouldn't ?)

now when i conect to Onion Access Point and type the IP in my browser i only see this :

i tried to follow what users advice here :
https://community.onion.io/topic/1283/answered-omega2-low-level-firmware-flash
the problem is that i dont have any access to the console.

did i bricked it ? how should i proceed

i also tried pressing the RESET button on the dock for 10 seconds, the only thing obtain is an endlewss quick blinking.

HELP

[frederic raducki]

the interesting part is that i AM connected to internet via the Onion2+
(means the onion actually sees the net BUT when i go to cloud.onion.io the status of my device is offline and i have the message "Cannot send commands to an offline device)

[frederic raducki]

After some investigation on the docs i was able to connect via SCP to the Onion2
here is what i see. is there a way to manually restore my Onion via file upload ?

@frederic-raducki Is it Omega2 or Omega2+?

[frederic raducki]

@WereCatf 2+

[WereCatf]

@frederic-raducki Download http://repo.onion.io/omega2/images/omega2p-v0.1.8-b145.bin and upload it to your Omega2's /tmp-directory, then log in to your Omega2 with SSH (e.g. PuTTY is a good SSH-client) and execute the following commands:

cd /tmp
sysupgrade -n omega2p*.bin

That should reset all settings and upgrade the firmware to the latest available.

@WereCatf thanks for your quick answer

damn i'm trying to install the CP210x_VCP_Windows drivers so that Putty can communicate with the Omega but i can't make this driver nor COM appear in my computer devices manager.

is there a way to do the putty thing using such usb dongle i have :

[frederic raducki]

Ok so i managed to install properly this driver.
Prolific usb to serial appeared as COM5 without any warning.

using Putty i opened a serial connexion on COM5 but then this is the only thing i obtain :
a prompt on which i can do absolutely nothing

any ideas ?

[WereCatf]

@frederic-raducki I said SSH, I didn't say anything about serial. Since SCP works, you can just as well use SSH.

[frederic raducki]

@WereCatf my bad i invented things you didn't suggest
i will try that tomorrow and will tell in the thread if it worked for me to restore my omega2+
thanks a lot for your precious help up to this point anyway !
cheers

@WereCatf said in I may have bricked it empty folders instead of console:
